The website lx20lawfirm.com (hereinafter the "Site") is the property of LX20 Law Firm S.T.A. S.r.l., a limited liability company among lawyers, with its registered office at Via San Raffaele 1, 20121 Milan (MI), Italy, Tax Code and VAT no. 14389480964, registered with the Register of Companies of Milan Monza Brianza Lodi under no. 14389480964, R.E.A.

These Terms and Conditions (hereinafter the "Terms") govern the use of the Site and the services accessible through it, including the features reserved for registered users in the dedicated area ("Personal Area") and any sections accessible exclusively to the Firm's Clients ("Client Area").

Access to the Site and use of the services imply full acceptance of these Terms. Any user who does not agree with even a single provision is requested to refrain from use.

2. Nature of the Site — professional information, not client solicitation

The Site is a tool for professional information about the Firm's activities, in compliance with the Code of Conduct for Lawyers and, in particular, with articles 17 and 35 regarding information provided by professionals. The published content is for general informational purposes only and does not, under any circumstances, constitute:

• solicitation of professional engagements or clients;
• an offer of free services to unspecified persons;
• individualized legal opinion or professional advice provided to an identified person;
• a guarantee of a result or a solution to specific cases.

To obtain a legal opinion or professional advice, it is necessary to formally establish a professional engagement through the Firm's onboarding procedures, which include anti-money laundering due diligence and the signing of an engagement letter.

3. Definitions

In these Terms, the following definitions shall apply:

• "User": anyone who accesses the Site or uses its services, in any manner.
• "Registered User": a User who has completed the registration process for the Personal Area and has accepted these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
• "Client": a User who has granted LX20 a professional engagement formalized by an engagement letter and has completed the anti-money laundering due diligence procedure pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2007.
• "Services": all features, content, and tools made available to the User through the Site, the Personal Area, and the Client Area.
• "Content": text, images, videos, audio, documents, software, trademarks, logos, and any other element published on the Site.
• "Self-Help Tools": questionnaires, calculators, simulators, and other interactive tools accessible from the Personal Area, as described in §6.

4. Access to the Site

4.1 Public sections

The informational pages of the Site (homepage, professional profiles, practice areas, publications, articles, contact page) are freely accessible to anyone, without the need for registration.

4.2 Registration for the Personal Area

The User can register for the Personal Area free of charge by providing the data requested in the registration form and accepting these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Registration can be completed by:

Registration requires:

• the User to be of legal age (18 years or older);

• full acceptance of these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

The Registered User is required to maintain the confidentiality of their access credentials and to promptly notify LX20 of any suspected unauthorized use of their account.

4.3 Client Area

The Client Area is a restricted section of the Personal Area, accessible exclusively to Users who are also Clients of the Firm. The Client Area is activated by LX20 after the formalization of the professional engagement and the completion of the anti-money laundering due diligence. The features of the Client Area (document consultation, communications with the Firm, case monitoring, invoices) are governed by the unified Privacy Policy (Special Part A).

4.4 Suspension or deactivation of the account

LX20 reserves the right to suspend or deactivate a Registered User's account at any time, at its sole discretion, should any of the following occur:

• use of the Site or Services in violation of these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of third parties;
• submission of false, misleading, or offensive data;
• attempts of unauthorized access to restricted areas of the Site, reverse engineering, massive scraping, or other prohibited activities;
• continuous inactivity for over 24 months (with at least 30 days' prior notice via email before automatic deactivation).

In the event of deactivation, the Registered User will lose access to the Personal Area. Personal data will be processed in accordance with the retention periods stated in the Privacy Policy.

5. User Conduct — Prohibited Uses

The User undertakes to use the Site and the Services in compliance with the law, these Terms, morality, and public decency. It is expressly prohibited to:

• use the Site for unlawful purposes or purposes contrary to public order;
• insert, publish, or transmit defamatory, insulting, obscene, threatening, discriminatory content, or content that infringes upon the dignity or privacy of others;

6. Self-Help Tools

LX20 may make available, within the Personal Area, interactive tools for informational purposes (pre-screening questionnaires, regulatory scope calculators, simulators). Such tools are for exclusively informational and educational purposes. The answers and results generated:

A User who wishes to obtain an individualised opinion or advice must contact the Firm through the official channels and formalise the relationship according to the procedures indicated in §4.3 and §2. Any decision, action, or omission taken based on the results of the Self-Help Tools is the sole responsibility of the User.
